BBQ Bling can hardly believe it's eyes. Not content with winning a record number of medals at the Beijing Olympics and hosting the 2012 Summer Games, the UK National BBQ Assoc is now claiming "leading nation" status in Barbecue.Citing no clear methodology, the UK BBQ Assoc press release for the Second Annual "Have a Better Barbie Day" claimed the UK is now "officially the biggest BBQ nation in Europe"!
As the rare, but sweet smell of success, mingled with burnt sausages and imported New Zealand lamb, the Association extolled that the UK had beaten the "Germans into second place again in the European Barbi stakes, with 95 million BBQ occasions last year versus Germany’s measly 80 million".
Germany??? "BBQ occassions"???
Finally the heat and the fumes of a particularly strong red wine and garlic marinade, caused the Association to have another outrageous stroke claiming: "Even the Aussies can’t catch us, both in the Olympics and on the Barbi, as they could only manage a ‘daggy’ 28 million Barbi’s."
Back of the envelope research by BBQ Bling reveals that the UK is claiming 1.5 "BBQ occasions" (whatever that is!) per head for the Brits compared to a wishful 1.4 for the Aussies.
Even an Aussie vegan would fire up the BBQ more often than that, thinks BBQ Bling.
Continuing with the theme, BBQ Bling can reveal that only 7% of China's 1.3 billion population, would only need to fire up the Weber once a year to eclipse the UK's delusional 95 million cook outs.
Still, at least they have a National BBQ Association in the UK which is more than you can say for the Land Down Under!
